04/24/18 NOTHING LIKE IT AT ALL
I posted a video clip from an old TV western show, where on of the hard case characters was a Bible thumper. The clip showed the old hypocrite threatening violence. His words were the point of my post. He said,
"I'm a God fearing man and I don't use violence unless I'm forced to."
This is ridiculous, because a true follower of Christ does not use violence. PERIOD. If a person is "forced to," then he is not looking to Jesus and trusting in Him for deliverance.
NOTHING LIKE IT AT ALL
Nothing like being a New Testament believer. Really, this video clip is NOTHING LIKE BEING A NEW TESTAMENT BELIEVER. HEHEHE.
(please read this and my comment, which follows).
The New Testament teaches that God gave the sword of steel to the State to protect the righteous and punish the wicked, but God gave the Sword of the Spirit (the word of God) to Christians in order to rescue the perishing and set the prisoner of sin free. God calls His people to be willing to shed their own blood in service to God, but forbids believers from killing others, either for personal reasons or to fight for an earthly kingdom. Not my opinion. It is the word of God.
After I posted this I watched it again. It is soooooo funny. (it is also sad because it is the voice of Romanism and corrupted Christianity), but still, just to hear it said out loud in this format is hilarious.
Really, think about it.
When did Jesus direct Christians to respond like this?
When did anyone in the New Testament respond like this and get God's approval?
When did a New Testament follower of Christ in the Church ever respond like this?
When did the New Testament ever direct a believer to respond like this?
Where in the New Testament are Christians ever told to shed the blood of anyone?
Where does the New Testament ever tell believers that it is permissible to shed the blood of anyone?
In fact, there are plenty of passages that actually forbid this viewpoint.
